STARKVILLE, Miss. – Mississippi State's Charles Brockman III ended his freshman season with a bronze medal in the 400m hurdles at the USATF Junior Championships in Bloomington, Ind., over the weekend.
Brockman, MSU's freshman record holder in the event qualified in fourth place on Friday with a 51.69 second run to win his heat.
After a lengthy rain delay on Saturday, the MSU freshman record holder in the event, clocked his third sub- 51 second run of the year. Crossing the line in 50.54, Brockman took third behind Florida's Cory Poole and Houston's Quivell Jordan.
"I ran close to a personal best, so I'm proud about that," Brockman said. "I wanted more than anything to make the Top Two, so I could be on the world juniors team. Now that my season is over, I'm going home to recover, relax and motivate myself even more for next year."
First year 800m phenom Marco Arop was also in action over the weekend, competing at the Caltaf Track Classic in Calgary, Alta. Arop ran the 400m for his high school club team of Voleo Athletics where he placed second in 47.39.
Freshman thrower Alicia Viveros was originally scheduled to appear at the USATF Juniors but did not compete.
